Cathy Contracts reads the case that provided Habeas protections to non-US Citizens. Scalia dissent reads like a tantrum which has Cathy smh'ing and wtf'ing a heckuva whole lot. Lots of swears peppered in so please make sure the children aren't listening zcast.co/j/NBlKR9c3EA
Cathy Contracts: whether the gov't is allowed to detain US citizens as "enemy combatants." Yes, but citizens must be afforded an opportunity to rebut that assertion. zcast.co/j/rz3rkYUNBX
Cathy Contracts reads a case upholding Eminent Domain. Gentrify away, New London & get that Cheesecake Factory. Pfizer Corp. also makes an appearance. Come for the majority opinion, stay for Justice Thomas's dissent, where he discovers class consciousness. zcast.co/j/WzL1LoHaQP
Anyone in the business of mortgages should check the deed on record with the local government. Two brothers in joint tenancy; one borrows against his share; when he dies, does the mortgage survive, or does it disappear? The answer might surprise you zcast.co/j/NBlKdjF3EA
Cathy Contracts stumbles through old case re: "personal jurisdiction." CA resident sued in OR but never receives notice! After default judgment, OR sells his land to pay off debt. He sues, claiming due process violation. It's like the wild west out there! zcast.co/j/xQdmWwiZEp
Cathy Contracts reads Rehnquist's opinion: appointment of an indep counsel w/in DOJ violates neither Appointments Clause nor the doctrine of Separation of Powers. Scalia's hissy fit of a dissent drives Cathy Contracts into conniptions of her own. zcast.co/j/lBjVoWiABp
Cathy Contracts reads the case that declined to extend Presidential Immunity to actions outside of the his *official* duties. Slick Willie's "sexy hair" was insufficient to sustain postponement of Paula Jones' sexual harassment suit. zcast.co/j/eQDJonfJBj
A compendium of materials on the Paula Jones case can be found here: washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/po…

Cathy Contracts reads through the case declining to uphold Nixon's claim of Executive Privilege, handed down same day that House began impeachment. A little over two years after the Watergate burglary, Nixon's reign of terror finally comes to an end . . .

Cathy Contracts reads another gun case, which chipped away at Brady Bill provisions requiring backgrounds checks. Scalia delivers the opinion because of course he did. zcast.co/j/vQRb3mIoQa
For Those Considering Law School, by Dean Spade. Cathy Contracts hangs out w/ Emily Edu. What should activists considering law school be aware of? How does an activist effect transformation within legal systems that uphold the status quo? zcast.co/j/NBlnvei3QA
